net: phylink: Add PHYLINK_DEV operation type
In the PHYLINK_DEV operation type, the PHYLINK infrastructure can work without an attached net_device. For printing usecases, instead, a struct device * should be passed to PHYLINK using the phylink_config structure. Also, netif_carrier_* calls ar guarded by the presence of a valid net_device. When using the PHYLINK_DEV operation type, we cannot check link status using the netif_carrier_ok() API so instead, keep an internal state of the MAC and call mac_link_{down,up} only when the link changed.
